Free Meta Title & Description Checker — Google SERP Preview
Your title tag and meta description are the headline and blurb Google shows in search results — the first thing a searcher reads before deciding to click. If they're too long, Google truncates them mid-sentence; too short and you waste the space. The sweet spots are roughly 50–60 characters for the title and 150–160 for the description. This tool measures yours and shows a live Google-style preview so you can tune them.
